Solace- in the end?

'-Tsuzuki! You're alright!', gasped Hisoka as Tsuzuki walked past him, silently. His eyes widened as he saw Tsuzuki wearing a coat that looked very much like the one Muraki usually wore. He darted towards Tatsumi.

'Tatsumi- Did that bastard-? Tsuzuki-!' Tatsumi nodded as Hisoka's mouth gaped. '-Tsuzuki said that the doctor did nothing to him, but if I know better- Ja, you'd better apologize to him properly. He was still angry with you- and being comforted by someone like Muraki is certainly not what he'd expected! Go along- Tsuzuki was easily angry by trivial things but, he's also not one to held grudges for too long-', said Tatsumi again as he nudged Hisoka towards Tsuzuki's direction as he saw the man walking outside towards the sakura trees. Hisoka ran as he caught up with Tsuzuki.

'Tsuzuki- I-', stuttered Hisoka as Tsuzuki made faces to him. 'I hate you-', stated Tsuzuki as he pouted. 'Technically, I should say- Muraki was indeed nicer compared to you. Yeah- aside from the fact that he kissed me, he was more than what someone else would have done- I can't believe it that he would actually come to keep me company when I was feeling down, but well- honestly, I should thank him! I was feeling a lot more better now-', said Tsuzuki again as he took off Muraki's coat.

'Tsuzuki- I.. I'm sorry! I shouldn't have- but then, it was so sudden- but- HE KISSED YOU?', gasped Hisoka as Tsuzuki blushed. 'Oops- I shouldn't have said- aaah! It's not like he did anything else! And that- it's not like the first time he did that- I wonder, between him and Hakushaku-sama- which is worse-?'

Hisoka grabbed him from behind. 'I- I'm really sorry! Please- Tsuzuki!'

Tsuzuki grinned. 'Maa- finally I got that from your mouth! It'll be a lesson for you to treat me even more nicely from now on-', said Tsuzuki with a smirk as Hisoka's face turned red. 'You- you've tricked me!', he gasped as Tsuzuki frowned. 'I didn't- and don't try taking all that back! You still owe me a treat to that cake house I saw when we went to Nagasaki. I expect you to pay that debt-', said Tsuzuki as he started to leave. He sighed. 'I'm famished! With all of Muraki's sweet talks and all this trouble- I'm tired out! I wanna go home- ja, Hisoka-!', he said again as he walked towards home.

Hisoka looked at him in surprise as he swallowed everything that he said and smiled. 'Haa- that was so like you-', he sighed as he too went home-

az: Ah- well, the story was hanging in the middle! You can't expect me to do nothing right? And- I had another idea coming up- and it was supposed to be another gift to myself as my bday was on 5th-. but, well- I'll post it later- I've been wanting to do sumthing about Muraki on sugar-high- and MurakiXTsuzuki fics are so hard to find. So I'll make one! Hehe..
